The now Democratic Governor of
Colorado is a younger man than oven
Gov. Paulson, of tliis State. Ho is only
DO years old.
Pesldont Clerk Patterson has com
pleted bis list of the members of the
legislature, which shows that tho Demo
crats have a majority of twenty five on
joint ballot.
II. M. Wolf Jr. editor of tho Wil
linnnnort Sun tfc Ihtnner is named for
tho position of postmaster of the House
at the coining legislature. His selection
would bo a good one.
The Democratic State Coinnutteo
which meets at Harrisburg next month,
can do no better than to re elect W. U.
Ileuscl as chairman, if ho will accept.
His services during the recent cam
paign cntitlo him to it, and everybody
will feel that tho management of tho
party is in safo hands if ho is retained.
There is something which looks very
much liko personal hatred in tho persis
tence with which Senator Logan antag
onizes tho movement to redress tho
wrongs which Fitz John Porter has
sustained. If it bo assumed that tho
gentleman is not actuated by a feeling
of malice, his conduct strikingly illus
trates tho saying that there is none so
blind as thoso who will not see.

Governor-elect Kobort E. Pattison,
accompanied by Kov. Everett, his pri
vato secretary, and Senator James Gay
Gordon, visited Harrisburg on Satur
day last. The object of the governor
elect's visit was to familiarize himself
with tho duties pertaining to the office
to which lie has been elected. A visit
waa paid tho executive chamber where
tho party was received by Ilis Excel
lency Governor Hoyt " and shown
through the departments, and also tho
executive mansion. After dining in tho
afternoon with tho governor at Ittiss
Grand hotel, Mr. Pattison and tho gen
tlemen who accompanied him left for
Philadelphia.
Delaaey's Contracts,
HOW IIUTWEEN A CO.VTUAGTOIt AND Till',
SENATE MllItAIilAN.
Senate Librarian Delaney having re
fused to accept tho articles which John
K. Ilummell furnished for the uso of
tho senate, house and department under
a contract awarded him last summer, a
hearing was had before Secretary of
Stato Jordon Saturday afternoon to" de
termine the question at issue. Ilum
mell was represented by counsel and
Delaney appeared for himself and tho
commonwealth. Delaney Baid he in
formed Ilummell on tho day tho latter
obtained the contract for furnUhiug
brooms, etc , that his samples were not
up to tho standard, and that the con
tractor promised to comply with the re
quirement of tho printed schedule.
Ho quoted Quay to show that ho had
authority to reject articles which do
not correspond with samples in the
possession of tho State. An advertise
inent had been printed calling for flesh
sponges at Ssli) per pound, and Hum-
mull furnished wagon spongo worth $3
per pound ; towels at $2 per dozen
wero furnished instead of Turkish
towels at .$-0 a dozen ; soapstone dishes
were furnished instead of china j small
pieces of chamois, instead of largo
skins j common plain glass, instead of
cut glass tumblers ; ordinary cuspidores,
instead ot inncy decorated j interior
brushes and dust pans ; 25 cent towel
racKs tor ttioo costing istf.OU ; poor
quality ot damask towels and machmo
made combs, for hand made. On somo
of these articles Delaney said Hum
mell would have made from eight hun
tired to twelve hundred per cent. Hum'
mell, by indirection, called Delaney a
iiiu uuu o.uu mm, uii tsumu ui utu articles
ho would lose from twenty to twenty
five per cent.
MeAlarnoy, Hummell's counsel, said
"v e propose to furnish by sample and
will havo our rights or there will bo
iuss. iou art! not going to dnvo us
out, Mr. Delaney."
MeAlarnoy charged the senate libra
rian with having procured llumiiieU s
bond at tho Stato department and
taken it to one of Hummell's bendsmen
for tho purpose of inducing him to
withdraw ms namo as security, to givo
Delaney an excuse for tho transfer of
tho contract to thu next lowest bidder,
a mend ot iJelanev. The senate libra'
rian indignantly denied this chartro and
said tho deputy Attorney-General had
informed him that if IlmnmcU failed to
meet tho requirements of his contract
his bondsmen would suffer, and that ho
had gono to Montgomery to givo him a
cuauco to becuro hunselt against loss.
MeAlarnoy having accused Delauov of
a determination to "drivo out" ilum
mell to givo a friend tho contract, tho
senate librarian bcornfully resented tho
imputation and said that Ilummell had
importuned Mr. Chellis, the former
contractor, to tako tho job oil his
hands.
Hero Ilummell arose to contradict
Delaney, and Secretary Jordan was
obliged to step in as peacemaker.
MeAlarnoy quoted Quay in support
of his position that tho articles furnish
ed should be in accordance with samples
exhibited by bidders. "Wo do not
propose to go according to Mr. Dela
uoy h samples, but on our own."
"Woll," remarked Delaney. "1 notify
you that they will not bo accepted.
You can't brow-beat me."
Secretary Jordan announced that a
decision would bo rendered after ho
has had a consultation with tho Attorney-General.
HummoH's bid is forty per cent, be
low tho maximum rate fixed by the
otate, ami tnu next lowest Didder pro
posed to ItiruMi tho necessary articles
at twenty-three per cent, below. It is
thought tho present controversy will
leud to an investigation into Delauey's
relations with contractors in previous
years, to show that ho has not been
near so circumspect in the past.
What tho legislature ought to do is
to wipo out thu practice that has pre
vailed at Harrisburg for many years,
of buying sponges and towels and
brushes ifco for thu uso of tho members.
Tho Stato might just as well furnish
them with clean shirts. Tho whole
thing is without authority of law, and
tho now Democratic house should in
troduce reform in tho basement as well
us in thu hall,

War on Polygamists.
RESULTS OP THE I.A110K3 oi-' tiii:
UTAH COMMISSION.
Tho Utah Commission, in their re
port to tho Secretary of the Interior,
detailing tho results of their labors in
tho territory, say: "lho anomalous
condition of, this country and its peo
ple, with tho inherent difficulty of ad
justing local laws to an act of Con
gress, aro such that they havo imposed
on us great care and deliberation, lest
on the one hand wo should ex
ceed tho limits of tho law, or on the
other fall short of the vigoious and
effcetivo dischanro of our duties. Wo
aro obliged to construe lor ourselves.
The commission did not construe the
spirit of the act forbidding polygamists
and bigamists from voting, only to
affect those actually living in polyga
my at that time, for such a construc
tion would render the section a perfect
nullity, and they added such regula
tions as seemed desirable to carry out
tho objects of the act."
The commission recommends that a
marriage law bo enacted by Congress,
which would form an auxiliary in tho
suppression ot polygamy, mis law
should declare all future marriage in
Utah null and void, unless contracted
and evidenced in tho manner provided
by tho act. Certain places should be
designated for marriages, which should
be witnessed by certain persons, and
registered in specific public offices, so
as to make the proor ot marriage, mor
ally certain. Tho parties and witness
es should be required to maKo atiuiavits
against polygamy.
Another suggestion is that marriages
bo solemnized in private, with like
guarantees of registration, affidavits,
witnesses, etc. In either case, appro
priate penalties should be provided for
a violation of tho act. Tho commission
says that owing to the peculiar state of
affairs in Utah, the Territorial law, al
lowing women tho right of suffrage
is an obstruction to tho speedy solution
of the vexed question, and should be
repealed or annulled by Congress To
obviato tho difficulty of proving a first
legal marriage, tho commission recom
mends that Congress declare the first
or legal wife a competent witness in
such cases. The commission had not
had time to fully test tho operation of
the law but so tar it has been a deci
ded success in excluding tho polyga
mists from tho exercise of suffrage, and
it is behoved that tho steady, contin
ued enforcement of tho law, will place
polygamy in a condition of gradual
extinction. Tho commission notices
that many of tho "liberal meetings
had been largely attended by Mor
mons,and that theso meetings had beon
characterized by exceptional good or
der. No inclination is shown in tho
report to advise congressional legisla
tion of a radical character, unless upon
further observation and experience its
necessity is demonstrated. In conclu
sion tho report 6ays, after counseling
moderation: ''If, however, the next
session of tho Legislative Assembly
elected under tho act of Congress shall
fail to respond to tho will ot tho na
tion, Congress should have no hesitation
in using extraordinary measures to
compel thu people of this territory to
obev tho laws of tho land-
My husband told mo about nn hour be
fore he did it that the Lord demanded
n sacrifioo of us and that our boy had
to die. 1 begged him to spare my boy.
I cried and begged htm to consider
well what ho was about to do, but all
tho answer ho made mo was that Jesus
Chtist had died for us and thu Lord
had told him that our son had to dlo
for His sake. Ho called my boy out
of tho houso nnd told him that ho had
to dio for our Saviour. Tho boy asked
him if thu Lord had commanded us to
starve and Josiah told him 'Yes.'
Then tho littlo fellow knell down nnd
1 knelt down by his side and hia fath
er stood up. He raised tho knito, look
ed hard in tho boy's face nnd then
drove tlio kuifo into his breast. Oh I
it was awful, once it was done 1"
"No j I felt bud a little, but when hn
told mo what ho was going to do it did
not seem to me so terrible. It wns
only when I saw tho boy fall over nnd
a great stream of blood came spurting
from his body that I felt how terrible
it all was.
"Had your husband ever been a re
ligious man T Had ho ever shown any
symptoms of religious insanity t"
".No sir. Ho wns not a religious
man. Ho believed in God,but did not
follow any religion. Ho took to rend
ing tho Hiblo n great deal a few weeks
before all this happened and used of
ten to read mo nil they say in lho Uiblo
about tho sacrifice to ho Lord. I beg
ged him not to read them so much, but
they seemed to havo a tcrriblo fascina
tion for him. Ho would read over and
over again about the Lord command
ing Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac
and how Ho sent n ram to bo tho vic
tim. Ho got to talking to his old fath
er, who is now seventy-eight years old,
and ho said to him : 'I am the Lord.'
His old father argued with him when
ho saw the way he wn going, but it
was no use, and my husband would jo
on saying to him that he had God in
him."
"How long havo you been married
to this man f Has he been a good hus
band to you !'
"This coming December will bo six
teen years. I have no complaint to
make against him, for ho has been as
good a husband to mo as a woman
could want. He was always kind to
all cf us, and did all that he could to
keep us from want. But just before
he did it he said that we must all fast
and that ho would not let us eat any
thing. Tho boy asked him frequently
if God had ordered us all to starve and
ho always said He had. If it had not
been that my head ivas sort of dazed
and if tho boy had not given in at
once, I might havo prevented tho kil
ling, though ho was mighty bent on
it."
"How did vour husband's talk on
this subject of sacrifice affect you V
'Well, I used to feel that it tho Lord
commanded me to starve or kill people,
I would not do it. But when ho
would talk to mo and persuade mo that
a good wife should th'nk as her hus
band did, I got so as to think that
what ho said must bo right."
"Do you never think ot your murder
ed child?"
"Oh. yes, sir : I often do. I am al
ways thinking of him, and I can hear
him at all times asking to be brought
in and laid on his bed, and begging
for a littlo water before he died, i
havo his face before me all tho time,
and I hear his voice in my ears day
and night."
Tho woman continued with heart
rending details of tho boy's conversa
tions with Ins tather and his numerous
attempts to make his father go back to
fashing alter ho had giveu it up. one
pictured in her graphic but illiterate
way tho sickening details ot tneir cniiu s
death. During tho course of her narra
tive deep sobs would interi upt her
story, but they seemed to bo more tho
result of emotional excitement than
any natural grief of a bereaved moth
er.
Grave Yard Horror.

Tho woman in personal appearance is
not unprepossessing, and thoro is nolh
ing in her face to denote nbsenco of tho
motherly instincts of which she has
shown herself to bo utterly devoid.
As sho entered tho room, bearing in
her arms a pale and sickly looking in
fant, the reporter saw hetoro mm a
woman small in stature, with a round
face. She was scantily clad in an old
dress, which seemed but tho mockery
of an attempt to keep off tho cold
gusts which now nnd then camo sweep
ing through the jail-yard. A scrap of
a shawl, gathered closely around her
frail form and that other crying babe,
added meagrely to her physical com

suiTOundiuirs, would havo been nu im

porter's face with tho fierce flash of
desperation in her oyes, and at other
times tho tenrs would well-uii from

Her whole story seemed to be sincere
there was no eltort at ilissimulatiou or

Holiday Goods
at
Wanamaker's.
One quarter in ihc store is
peculiarly a Holiday quarter,
a gift quarter; a place where
just a little use is made the
vehicle for a great deal of
luxury. It is lull now; full
of wonders; full of pretty
things; full of silly things;
full of surprises; full of what
nobody expects; full of what
everybody expects; full, as it
has been full near Christmas
time before.
Beginning at the very cen
tre of the store, next north
arc two counters, one of
them very large, and one
half as large, filled to over
flowing with perfumeries and
other toilet articles and
implements. We positively
must not begin to mention
names, nor even classes.
The only way to get away
from these miraculous things
is to break away.
Next northwest is a col
lection of small things that
people used to luxury will
recognize under the name
small leather articles. About
the biggest thing there is a
portfolio or writing-case.
Pocketbooks are the com
monest. Hut such pocket
books! Oh, yes you can
get good substantial pocket
books there, with not a cent
of extravagance in them ;
but naturally we arc thinking
of the brighter ones. Leather
isn't fine enough. They must
enamel it, paint it, deck it
out with silk and shining sil
ver and gold. Every year
people get worse and worse,
livery year they must have
stranger and stranger things.
Silk, plush, velvet and fur
bags are there, with all their
pretty and handy and cun
ning fastenings. But we
must hurry on.
Next northwest are writing-papers.
Merc's room
for a treatise. We're not
going to stop. But anybody
who passes that white-looking
island of trade in the sea
of people, without finding
out what Wci'Aamakcr Best
means, in or out of Holiday
time, is a loser. What a
glory has a page of pure
paper !
Photograph albums are
next on northwest ; and here
the circle widens. Is all
that long row photograph
albums ? Is it possible that
:;o many people didn't buy
albums last year, when we
brought over a ship-load
almost ? There's a new set
ui' people this year, may be.
At least the photographers
haven'tgonc outof business.
At this end are velvet
fames ; yonder are boxes
t..f leather and plush. You
tan pay $6o for a box that a
lO'.u.i will spoil. Don't sup
j o..j that the things put out
to sh'.w, even under glass,
re the lino ones. Whisper
to the t aleswoman that your
locket i.i full of money, and
that you are aching to get
i..l ol it.
Brass and bronze! Oh,

come to has its image there.
Preposterous things ! Have
your wits about you. An

touches of humor and broad
